“ Hidden gem in the heart of midtown! Was looking for a stein of beer after a long run, which is hard to find outside of Oktoberfest season in the city. Reichenbach offers HUGE pours (including boots) in a variety of German beers, even their own! It truly felt like I was in Germany- long family size picnic tables and thematic outfits worn by staff. Impressive amount or real estate for the city. Service was super attentive and friendly. We only tried a pretzel, which was good albeit a tad expensive. On a Sunday it was relatively empty, got a table right away. Will be back! ”
“ Great atmosphere. Not too loud when we went there for dinner. The Pretzel and Curry wurst were pretty good - both go very well with the beer. Server was attentive and price was reasonable for a German food place in Manhattan. Would go again! ”
“ We visited Reichenbach Hall just to reminisce about our love of the Hofbrauhaus in Munich. It definitely has a different vibe and wasn't as much of a traditional German beer hall as I was hoping. It really is just more of a bar that serves German food and that's ok. The people who were there were definitely having fun and that's what matters. The food was okay, the beer selection was good and the service was what you expect at a bar. I think they have a good thing going for their regulars so good for them! ”
“ We saw a sign advising the beer garden on the street and decided to stop in for a beer. The interior was very much like a beer garden with some long benches for communal seating. They had a nice selection of beer and German food. We sat at the bar and were waited on immediately. We did not eat there so I cannot attest to the food but it looked good. ”
“ Great German food. Nice Ambiance with top notche service. There is nothing to complain about. I really enjoyed the meal there. I would definitely return. If you are looking for a great German meal, I recommend this place. Waitresses are dressed in German costume. Foods are authentic. We had Currywurst, shnizel and meat sasuage platter, they were all delicious. I would definitely return for schnizel, we had pork. I think we found a favorite German place. ”
“ The place looks exactly like a good old fashioned beer hall. I've been here many times and have tried many liters of their beers. Never a miss. Finally decided to write a review after trying their food for the first time, which happens to be a alice of their Black Forest cake. It's a weird combo to do cake and beer but it works. Service can be a bit hit or miss. On some days they take your order quick and the beers come out fast but oddly I've been here on a slow Saturday afternoon and the service also seemed slow as well. Overall, this is a fun place to grab a couple of beers and catch a sports game on their multiple TVs. Been here multiple times and you can bet I'll be coming here multiples in the future as well. ”
“ My friend and I ordered the mixed sausage platter due to the bartender's recommendation. It was delicious. We enjoyed it with some beer. Customer service is good and it's spacious. ”
“ A good and varied selection of beers to cater for all tastes. From light radlers, through pilsner and ales to dark lagers and whit beers. Drinks come in 500ml "pint" glasses or you can order in a 1 litre stein. Service was very prompt and friendly, without being too intrusive. We didn't try the food, but from what we saw other people eating it all looked very good and traditional to what you would find in German beerhall. The one downside to this place was it was almost too painfully loud to stay. Whilst we were there the place was only around half full and even then it was hard to have a conversation with people at the same table. A few sound dampening tiles in the ceiling wouldn't go amiss. ”
“ Long overdue review of Reichenbach Hall. I wanted to host a birthday party for my boyfriend and was able to book two tables of 10 for the event. The venue was large, with lots of TVs for folks to watch whatever game was on. It was clean and not too loud by the time we arrived. From start to finish, even when it came down to planning, the venue was really accommodating. We initially got two long tables inside, but I asked them after arriving if we can be seated outside since it felt a little stuffy, and one of the employees, possibly a manager, got another worker and moved tables around outside so we'd be more comfortable and can get a section to ourselves. On top of that, the service during the duration of our stay was wonderful. I don't remember her name, but she was so attentive, and the other staff members cleared out our empty dishes quite often. The only thing I'm sad about is the fact that I didn't get to try any of the food! It looked so good, and I anticipate coming back here for group events in the future. ”
